The Season of Peace and Joy – Christmas!
Come December, we all eagerly await the Christmas festival. Christmas is one of the biggest celebrations for Christians across the globe – a festival of peace and goodwill. As December 25th honors the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who was sent into this world to save us, it is but obvious that this is one of the most important days of the year. The Christmas holiday season is a time of revelry. Friends meet and greet each other, families from far flung areas get together. There is a feeling of bonhomie all around. It is a season that exudes happiness, spreads joys and warm hugs around, eliminates worries, and is celebrated by everybody from the rich to the poor. Christmas is one of the most inspiring celebrations of the year. Hope, joy, and love are shared in abundance by the entire family. And to top it all, Christmas is always just before the New Year. An added reason to celebrate, if nothing else.
Christmas in the home is an amalgamation of a variety of sweets, tasty food, and colorful decorations. From buntings to multicolored lights to the ubiquitous Christmas tree, there are numerous ways of giving rise to the Spirit of Christmas. One of the most looked forward to activities of Christmas is decorating the Christmas tree. Here, almost the entire family gets together and there is a spirit of camaraderie in the decoration. From the youngest member to the oldest one, each family member contributes to the decoration of the entire house. Involving all members of your family in decorating your home for Christmas, particularly children, makes the job easier and faster and also brings the family closer. Including children in the preparation has its own advantages as it not only keeps them occupied but also gives them a chance to express their thoughts freely. As children are usually the most enthusiastic in the lot, their creativity is much more unrestrained than ours.
Apart from decorating the interior, special care should be taken to adorn the outside of your house too so that it adds to the festivity surrounding you and your family. When the entire neighborhood is decorated, the ambience is so peaceful and makes one truly value the meaning of the festival.
Lastly, it should not be forgotten that Christmas is a season of giving. Give to the needy and ensure that you make a difference in someone’s life. Let the Christmas cheer carry you right through the New Year.

I never voted for Bush, but this Christmas Season all the Liberals do is spread such hatred towards Bush?
Is this not the Season to spread Goodwill and Peace?
Have Liberals any Idea what Peace actually means,?
And how does this look good for Obama, that his supporters are capable
of so much hatred?
Whatever faults Bush has had, he kept me safe at home, where I was not afraid to go outside,
So Thank You,
So lets see what Obama brings us,
This country is divided against itself, and divided we will fall!
Gosh–and your question is so filled with LOOOOOVE for the "Liberals"!!!
Do unto others as you would have others do unto YOU.

It isn’t the left spreading the hatred . . the left would gladly welcome the right over to their side of the aisle . . it is the right who are bitter and cannot accept that Obama is black and the Democrats won the election.

It is not just "liberals", the whole world has hatred for Bush, look at the shoe incident, not to mention the world leaders refusing to shake his hand.

haha, this christmas season?! how about the last 8 christmas seasons. And it’s not just liberals that are capable of hatred, humans in general. With so much hate flying around you’d think that all americans would rally behind the whole kill the terrorists thing. Why don’t we all hate terrorists instead of our president?

I never voted for any BUSH..junior or senior
but I always respected them but sometimes with Bush Junior I wondered if he was really playing with a full deck? or did George Bush junior sound like Foster Brooks so much?

You have seen nothing yet,……. the hate is already spreading within their own party, wait till next Christmas,!
That is Liberalism for you, just another name for intolerance, and no I am not a Republican,

It has nothing to do with a season. Bush has been an idiot all his life.
And you think that Limbough and Hannity don’t spread haterid?
Get your head out of the sand.

So, it’s just Liberals who hate Bush? Why do you keep obsessing over Liberals? In case you haven’t noticed, the whole world doesn’t like Bush.
References :
Independents hate Bush as well.
References :
Right, because the Republicans and Conservatives have been so very loving towards Obama? I do not think so. Supporters of both parties are being just as hateful as the other towards each other. To call one more hateful than the other is to really demonstrate that you are not looking at things objectively at all.
References :
I’m not clear what exactly your question is. Yes we know what peace is. You don’t spend a lot of time in this category do you? There is enough hate coming from the right, to sink a ship named America.

Believe me it isn’t just the christmas season.
Besides I still see the pseudo conservatives slamming our next president, what does that say about you and yours?

Tell me when you sing Christmas Carols that include Peace On Earth -does that include Iraq as well – where thousands of children and babies have been killed or maimed ?
I am a Military widow For Peace BTW.

To start with, a lot of liberals don’t even like Christmas–they say "happy holidays," and claim to be upset when someone wishes them a Merry Christmas. They spread the lie that President Bush is dumb, yet he defeated them in two elections. It has all led to a pathological irrationality known as "Bush derangement syndrome", and the current season of good will will not deter them.

Yahoo A has become a scary place, thank God, we can’t get tazered over the internet, !
Or shot, …..
and the hatred here is appalling, …….
Either towards Bush or Obama, we have become a very sick blood thirsty nation, run by crooks, …and people who live in sin and want equal rights!
Just turn on the TV….
Once Bush is gone, they are going to turn on their own Obama, gotta hate somebody!

all libs are cowards and all they have to attack with is hate

Merry X-Mas GWB thanks for ruining the country.

I don’t hate Bush, while i never supported most of the things that he approved(Iraq war). I really wish him all the best. Just not another term as president!
References :
Ahh and what do conservatives say about obama? And he hasn’t been President for 1 day yet!
References :
He did this to himself! He is a shallow evil man…I don’t hate him as far as wishing him dead kind of hate…just hate him enough to want to be able to watch him get his just desserts!…It’ll happen too..What goes around comes around!!! I don’t know why the Holidays are supposed make people change how they feel about the corruption and greed that this man has created, unless maybe we should all be saying…"awe gee, maybe now that it’s Christmas, I guess I don’t mind having lost my job, my house, and thanks George for those mounting hospital bills because my child got sick. Oh and especially, for sending over 4000 Americans to their deaths in a war(IRAQ) that SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED!! OH, and let’s not forget the countless hundreds of thousands of INNOCENT Iraqi’s (Including babies, children, and Women)
You ask if Liberals know what peace is?…Yes, Do you? It is in no way near what this Administration has done to us or the world!!!…I am not worried about looking bad for Obama….Bush has made so many enemies for this country that they are not even noticing us lliberals
So I guess just because it is Christmas…sorry, can’t feel any different about that sorry excuse for a president/human being!!
Do you really believe Bush is responsible for keeping you safe?….They could do to us what they wish at any time. They just haven’t wanted to!…He gets no cudos for that!!!!!

After reading these Answers I see what you are saying, America is on a long downward slide into hell, someone here said," A Nation run by crooks….

its hard to say where to begin on this …

ARE YOU really SO SELFISH THAT ANY ABUSE of law and people IS OK AS LONG AS YOU PROFIT/BENEFIT? THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN, do you realize?
References :
I don’t hate Bush, I hate what he did in office as president. however, I don’t bear him any ill will personally. i think it’s unfair of you to be so hard on liberals when many conservatives do the same thing to Obama.
References :
So after all the Bush hate, do they now expect us to love Obama,
when the Obama supporters spread hate towards Bush,
they spread the word right back to Obama,
What goes around, comes around!
No I am not a Bush Supporter…..
if anyone is to blame it is the people who voted for him twice!
And yes this country has become hating,
not that much different than Radical Muslims!
Seems to me that the terrorists are achieving their goal
This country is dividing upon itself!
References :
Yes, Liberals do spread hatred. They are willing to destroy the country for their return to power.
References :
Hey, that’s not ALL we do.
We also decorate and give presents when we’re not spreading hatred towards Bush.
